General Notes: Husband - John Randolph

---

He was a descendant of the Virginia Randolphs who settled Whitestown, Butler County, Pennsylvania. They gave land for the founding of the present Princeton University. An uncle of his, John Randolph, went West, and a brother of his, William Randolph, was a judge in St. Louis, Missouri, while another brother was a senator from one of the western states.

His father died in 1812, and his mother then brought him to Butler County, Pennsylvania, where he was reared and learned the trade of saddlery and harness-making. He conducted a shop at Zelienople until 1856, when he purchased a farm near Whitestown, Butler County, which he tilled until 1863. He then sold his farm, retired from active life and the ensuing year visited his brother, W. H. H. Randolph, who lived in Iowa, and at whose house he died, aged fifty-nine years, nine months and twenty-three days. He was a democrat in politics and had always been an industrious and honest man.
